A 9-1-1 emergency is when you or someone else needs help from the police, fire or ambulance services right away!

You might need to call 9-1-1:

• To get help for someone who is hurt
• If you smell smoke or see fire
• If you see someone hurting someone
• If someone is trying to hurt you
• If you are not sure if it's a real 9-1-1 emergency and there are no adults nearby to ask.

Do not call 9-1-1 for:

• Directions
• Directory assistance
• For your pet
• As a joke
• When you are bored and just want to talk
• When you miss the bus
